Hi,
My lawn has become a mecca for weeds and some of the flower beds are becoming overpopulated with every weed know to man.
i intend to reapply bark mulch/chippings soon but i want to wipe out the weeds first.

i am intending to decimate the invasion on the lawn with D50. Can i use D50 on the flower beds too?

thanks in advance.

You can, but I would not advise it. There is a much greater chance of harming the shrubs and perennials in the beds with D50 as it hangs around in the soil for a while. You would be better to use something like weedol for any annual weeds and for the tougher perennial weeds use glyphosate.
Now where are you getting the D50, as I though you could not get it any more. Wink

Thanks for the reply and the advice on the D50. i better give the plants a wide berth then just in case.

A mate of mine has a some D50 and i'm getting a few mls from him. i believe it is still available in some garden centres.
